They did it to try and belittle me, to try and to take away my pride. But I went through the whole system with them. And at the end, I – I wanted the public...

I am still married, yes – no children. I have Benzo, though; he’s my dog, a Lhasa apso.

As a designer, you have to solve a lot of problems. Even though people are wearing clothes that are supposed to look beautiful, they’ll have to do all kinds of things.

My idea of relaxation is not lying down by a beach. I have to move around, do stuff. Though I’m a massive quiz show person.

Even though I occasionally appear on it, I don’t watch television.

For a while, I became an atheist; now that I’m grown up, though, I’m not hard-edged enough to be an atheist. Even though I live with a flaming atheist, I love going to temple. I...

I have a soft spot for cashmere – even though that is not a particularly sustainable fabric, I do invest in quality, so it is sustainable in the sense that it is not just throwaway...

Growing up as a kid, I wanted to be a ninja. In martial arts, even though I did Chinese kung fu, I always wanted to be this secret samurai or a ninja. There’s something about...

If I’m feeling in a naughty mood, I’ll steal some of Mama’s Creme De La Mer. If I’m feeling in a very naughty mood, I’ll steal some of Daddy’s Creme De La Mer. On the...

In comedy, though, it’s good to get feedback from the audience about what they find funny.

It is hard, though, ‘cos record labels love to boss you around. I won’t let them do that anymore.

I have been a selfish being all my life, in practice, though not in principle.

‘Heel Turn 2’ is about a person who’s in a match, and he’s playing as though the match were real. But it is real! If you’re standing in the middle of a ring, and you’re...

Though my father was Norwegian, he always wrote his diaries in perfect English.

I didn’t become an actor to make money. And I didn’t become an actor to be famous – though people always gasp if you say that, as if it’s unfathomable that an actor doesn’t want...

India has lot of talent. What I am happy with is that the talent keeps on coming. Certainly it could be nice, though I am not terribly keen on seeing my successor yet.

Probably all the attention to poetry results in some value, though the attention is more often directed to lesser than to greater values.

In prose, I think you sometimes have to write in very plain language, where every line may not seem to be so important, though in all writing every line is important.

I’m kind of a ‘Daily Show,’ Bill Maher junkie. I listen to NPR and I still get the ‘New York Times’ paper delivered to my door, even though I live in L.A.

In L.A., though, people get off busses calling themselves actors, so many are really not professionals.

My husband and I are loyal to our community and very approachable, even though we’re kind of mainstream.

Our leaders increasingly see fit to lecture the ethnic minorities on the need to integrate, including of course the need to speak English. What about the need, though, for Britain to integrate with the rest...

For there to be communication within a couple, it is enough for there to be only one person who communicates or who really wants to communicate. Even though a couple consists of two people, if...

A mother-in-law is better than a single and childless political persona, though.

I think that what comes through in Chicago humor is the affection. Even though you’re poking fun at someone or something, there’s still an affection for it.

You are an extremely valuable, worthwhile, significant person even though your present circumstances may have you feeling otherwise.

Did any agents ever put Diane Ladd up for some of the great parts, even though she always got great reviews? No! But do they put up the girlfriend of the studio executive who’s gonna...

The Golden Eagle, which has universally been considered as a bird of most extraordinary powers of flight, is in my estimation little more than a sluggard, though its wings are long and ample.

I like people who don’t accept boundaries. Like Florence Nightingale. And Napoleon or Louis XIV, though I’m not sure how much I’d have liked to meet them. I admire people who aren’t circumscribed by circumstance.

Even in decline, a virtuous man increases the beauty of his behavior. A burning stick, though turned to the ground, has its flame drawn upwards.

I’m extremely, extremely lucky to be who I am and do what I do and work with the people I work with. Even though I can always find something to complain about, I find it...

When about to commit a base deed, respect thyself, though there is no witness.

For the third season, we do a sit around on one episode where we were in character and then we commented on one episode just being ourselves, so – not really. I was comfortable, though....

Even though I’m Hispanic, I’m so white.

Phillip Harrison was the production designer, though, I think he’s uncredited. He’s done most of my films like Blue Thunder. Lots and lots over the years.

I like conventions. I like meeting and greeting. I’m perched on that edge where I’m getting more attention than I quite know what to do with, though.

Hip-hop lasted and survived all these years that you have to give it credit. Even though it’s not up to people’s expectations anymore, its still here, and that’s says a lot.

Doing ‘EastEnders’ wasn’t exactly suffering, but my soul’s not in quick-fix TV. Theatre doesn’t pay like TV work pays, though. We all have to live, don’t we?

I like to find music that shares a rhythm with the sentences I’m working on. And though I’ll probably regret saying this, I think some songs actually don’t sound too bad when they’re played through...

My aim is that every sermon series I preach is prepared as though I were teaching a college-level course.

I spend so much time with the brightest and most talented and well-rounded people. I’ve had the privilege of having long and very intellectual conversations with people, and sometimes I just sit there and listen....

I would be terrified if Bill Maher was like, ‘Hey, do you want to come on the show?’ I would be like, ‘Oh, God.’ It would completely terrify me, even though I’m such a junkie...

Humour and high seriousness… Perfect bedfellows, I think. Though I usually phrase it in terms of comedy and darkness. Comedy without darkness rapidly becomes trivial. And darkness without comedy rapidly becomes unbearable.

I was pretty new to the Broadway world once I began working in it. I hadn’t really grown up being too aware of that many shows or that many actors in shows. I was always...

Even though I am a professional, and I know what the steps are, I don’t quite know how I’m going to do them, because I haven’t lived that moment yet. I always feel very insecure...

The idea that man is a tabula rasa, or Mao’s sheet of blank paper upon which the most beautiful characters can be written, is an old one with disastrous implications. I do not think though...

No novel is a clone of any preceding one, though with a background cast of characters and things that has grown to thousands, there are many familiar aspects.

Richard Pryor introduced me to the world of the inner city, and the urban world, and did it hysterically. My favorite comedian, even though we work 180 degrees differently, but funny is funny is funny.

The principle though remains the same, and the important thing is CBS fought hard, very hard, to protect that principle and will fight again.

The art world can be very intimidating because it’s just so vast. You talk to people who are really clued in to all the young artists and coming into it you’re never going to be...
